National convention mobilizes members
More than 10,000 individuals shared best practices and gained insights about Girl Scouting at G.I.R.L. 2017, Girl Scouts of the USA’s 54th national convention in Columbus, Ohio (blog). Board Chair Regina Buckley led our contingent of official girl and adult delegates and representatives-at-large. The delegates also took part in a council voting session, where they helped shape national policy. In addition, GSUSA presented our group with a special commendation for increasing membership numbers, an accolade we credit to everyone who helped us connect and build stronger relationships with volunteers and girls.
